Sorry to ask a stupid question, Java gurus, nevertheless, I forge ahead:
I'm trying to write a simple applet that has objects which know how to draw
themselves. Eg, each object would have its own repaint() method to redraw
that object, maybe at a new location. What is the simplest/correct way to
do this?
I have tried various permutations of an object myObject which has a static
Graphics variable which would be initialized to the Graphics context of my
Applet.
a) I'm not sure how to initialize such an object from
Applet.init(). What points to the current window/Graphics context?
b) Even when I tried this from Applet.paint(), I got unanticipated trouble:
javac compiles my file without error, but when I call it (from HTML, of
course), the Applet appears to simply stop at the point where I call my
initializer method within myObject. What is happening?
PS: Using WinNT java port.
thanks,
